    Full review at http://www.FoodSherpas.com When looking to experience one of the better steakhouses in Santiago, Chile, one should consider a trip to Happening. The two-floor restaurant has a strong reputation for serving some of the best steaks in the city while providing a generally good ambiance. I've visited Happening a few times over the years, first back in 2012 and a few times over the past 8 months. The food has remained consistent over time with some small variations to the menu. I have noticed that the capacity tends to be filled half of what it was in 2012, when the restaurant was packed on a Friday or Saturday evening. There isn't as much a need for a weekend reservation these days. But this does not take away from the quality of the food.

    Well if this wasn't the most intriguing restaurant name, I don't know what is. A steakhouse called Happening? I must be walking into some new age restaurant that actually slices the meat off the animal in front of you. In actuality, Happening is an upper scale restaurant located in the main area of Santiago. Lots of business people dining at lunch time. There are multiple floors and the restaurant offers some of the best service that I experienced in the country. I had an assortment of dishes, all of which were pretty good. The short rib special was good, but a little over cooked. The side of steamed veggies were good and the empanadas with chorizo was excellent. All in all, a very solid meal at a good restaurant with an established reputation. Great for a business lunch or just an overall higher end dining experience in Santiago.

    Pros: great location, nice interior and excellent service. The waitstaff is very attentive. The appetizer we had (chorizo and sautéed onions) was delicious!! Prices are not expensive, it was $90 for an app, wine, and two entrees. Cons: I would say I have been to a hefty selection of nice steakhouses across the US and a few abroad. I ordered a ribeye with a red wine reduction, mushrooms and potatoes. I really WISH I could say how amazing it was, I had my hopes up in coming here. This steak was like going to outback. I ordered medium rare and it was hardly recognizable as a ribeye, and was way over cooked. The flavor of the meat just was not great. As mentioned, the price was reasonable, so I'm glad we tried it. But I probably wouldn't recommend it or go again.

    See all

    Food was excellent. I had the tenderloin and it was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the cooked provolone cheese as an appetizer.

    I'd give this place more stars if someone had even greeted us or taken a drink order. It's pretty but has no substance.
